about

This song is inspired by MOOMIN's story.
Chikako is MOOMIN huge fan.
"Kusare tuki"means the hot season when food rots.
The MusicBox version of this song is the soundtrack for Toki,a Japanese puppet animation created by students of the Nagoya university of art and science.
Toki means "Time".


大好きなムーミントロールの話の中で、食べ物が腐れやすい暑い時期を「腐れ月」といい、「腐れ月には説明のつかないような奇妙な事が起こる」という言い伝えがある。
このオルゴールヴァージョンは、名古屋学芸大学の方々が卒業制作に作った関節球体の人形アニメ「時時刻刻」で使用されている。
Youtubeで視聴可能。

lyrics

In the summer madness

Let me talk about my childhood.
when I was a child, my aunt talked that during summer madness something strange happens.

It’s a wired parade,everyone have got to dance.
Tumbling kittens.
A flock of sheep is flying in the sky.

By following your footprint in a forest,at last,Ifound you.

Is that illusion?
it’s mayfly parade.
Your wing so beautiful.
Your transoararent shadow never die.
I’ve been looking for the place is should be…..

Summer will soon be over.
Everything had faded away.
The only thing left after was our promise.
If I never change,I will meet you in the next summer madness.


夏の腐れ月
昔　ずっと昔
おばさんが教えてくれた
「夏の腐れ月には不思議なことが起こる」と

みんな踊り出す　おかしなパレード
逆立ちする仔猫
空を翔ぶ羊の群れ

やっと君に出逢えた
森の中の足跡をたどって

あれは幻？
かげろうのパレード
君の翅は綺麗だね
透きとおる影は消えない

ずっと探していたよ
たったひとつの僕のいるべき場所

夏が終わる
全部消えていく
残ったのは君との約束だけ

次の腐れ月にきっとまた会える
僕が変わらなければ
